Happy Monday Morning!

More good stories from This is True.

A Real Dope:

Emergency operators in Peterborough, Ont., Canada,received a 3:00 a.m. 911 call from a man asking if they would give hima wake-up call in the morning. No, they replied; 911 is for emergencycalls only. Minutes later he called the police non-emergency line torepeat his request. By then, dispatchers had checked his name in theircomputers, and found Donald Archie Baker, 51, had an outstandingwarrant for his arrest on theft charges. Officers responded to his homeand arrested him. (Peterborough Examiner) ...And no doubt ensured hewas up in time for his court appearance.

SORRY, BUT YOU FLUNKED YOUR URINE TEST:

Afraid that her court-ordered urine test would show drug use, Krystal Evans, 26, and a friendallegedly flagged down a courier van in rural Del Norte County, Calif.,and tried to steal the lab sample back. When the driver moved to callpolice, the women fled empty-handed.

County District Attorney Mike Riese said the robbery attempt, and an alleged attempted burglary of the probation department before the courier picked up the tests, was"somewhat inept." The urine test Evans allegedly tried to steal cameback negative, but a test immediately after her arrest showedmethamphetamine use.

She was imprisoned for three years for probationviolation. Her friend, who was also on probation, also faces charges inthe case. (Eureka Times-Standard)
